Standardized interfaces for connecting cutting tools to machine spindles
Overview
Standardized interface/connection coding for modular tools and assemblies. DIN 4000-95/96 define separation/connection codes; ISO 13399-60 is the reference dictionary for connection systems — the crosswalk is central to assembling adapters, holders, and tool assemblies consistently.

Advantages
Common interface semantics remove guesswork at CSW/assembly points
Improves interoperability across catalogs, CAM, and container packages
Considerations
Naming/code alignment across DIN ↔ ISO must be maintained during harmonization
Vendors may need to update libraries as legacy pieces are cleaned up in the unified roadmap
Integration with StOB
Connection Systems is fully supported within the StOB framework, enabling seamless integration with modern CAM systems and data management platforms. Our implementation provides enhanced compatibility and extended functionality for manufacturing workflows.
